I am incredibly grateful for all that we have accomplished during her tenure. Algene has served as my senior foreign policy and national security advisor since 2012 and concurrently as democratic policy director for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 2015 through 2018.

These accomplishments demonstrate the wide- ranging policy areas over which Algene has extensive knowledge. Her ability to leverage her knowledge to help negotiate and advance such policies into law and her passion for doing so are what set Algene apart from most others in this highly competitive field.…”
